Critical considerations about the globalization of education systems: Jesús Romero, Inés Dussel y Thomas S. Popkewitz

Abstract

This section complements the generic title of this issue of our journal (Knowledge, power and globalization), moving the generic issue to an increasingly prominent topic in the era of globalization and total capitalism, namely the progressive globalization of the ubiquitous school reason born at the dawn of Western modernity. Certainly, the critical approach to this issue can be made from different perspectives and academic specialties. We have opted on this occasion for the collaboration, through a colloquium, of three outstanding scholars in the field of curriculum history. They are Jesús Romero (Spain), Inés Dussel (Mexico) and Thomas S. Popkewitz (United States).
